Video game sales jump 32 percent last
month 04/15/2005 12:46 PM
New statistics released by analysts today indicate video game sales jumped 32 percent in the U.S. during March. With more than 532,000 units sold, Sony’s Gran Turismo 4 led the game sales for March. It was followed by MVP Baseball 2005 from Electronic Arts, which sold nearly 338,000 units. Most analysts expect U.S. software sales to grow about 5 percent in 2005, driven by growing sales for handheld devices and the increased availability of gaming consoles. Sony sold 620,000 PlayStation Portables and 1.1 million units of software after releasing the PSP on March 24. By comparison, Nintendo’s DS has sold 428,000 units this year, analysts said. The DS, which costs $100 less than the PSP, launched last year. The supply of Sony's PlayStation 2 console continued to improve, analysts said, with 495,000 sold in the month, compared with 227,000 units of Microsoft Corp.'s Xbox and 94,000 units of Nintendo's GameCube. Microsoft has acknowledged the Xbox is in short supply, which some retailers fear may continue through the year as the company prepares to launch its next-generation console later this year.

The Health Care Implosion

The Health Care Implosion 05/25/2004 01:22 PM

Mercury News: Health costs hurting more small businesses. The cost of health insurance -- ranked the top concern of small businesses since 1986 -- still holds that dubious distinction, a new nationwide survey shows. But the percentage of firms affected by those costs has grown substantially.

The health care system, or at least the insurance system through which our health-care dollars flow, is in a slow-motion collapse. This story is just one more data point. Sooner or later, we'll have to make a choice. Should the U.S. go to national health care, as every single other industrialized nation provides for its citizens? Or should we go to a totally free-market system -- not the bogus pretense of one we have now -- that leaves millions without care of any kind? Or something else? The insurance industry is systematically excluding people who will someday need care -- shifting costs wherever possible to taxpayers. This may be rational capitalism, but it's lousy public policy. I'm working on some columns on this topic. Let me know what you think.

An Indiana company called Anthem will acquire WellPoint Health Networks, the Southern California outfit that owns Blue Cross of California, for about $16.4 billion. The deal has drawn harsh criticism for many reasons. Not least is the display of raw greed by the insider executives who stand to collect somewhere between $200 million and $600 million in payouts after the buyout is concluded. More...
